What We've Learned Working Across Sellindge
Romney Marsh properties around New Romney and Lydd have unique ground conditions and are often in flood zones
Access & logistics: Folkestone's steep streets and one-way systems around the Old Town require careful delivery planning. We use smaller vehicles and arrange parking in advance for town centre properties.
Seasonal tip: The Channel coast around Folkestone and Hythe is one of the sunniest spots in the UK but also exposed to strong south-westerly winds. External features need to be built to withstand these conditions.
Common Considerations for Folkestone & Hythe Properties
- Coastal humidity and salt air affecting material choices for kitchens and bathrooms
- Victorian properties in the Creative Quarter with non-standard dimensions and ornate original features
- Flood zone considerations for properties on Romney Marsh affecting ground-level installations
